mimic_dev comments on ELI5 How the whole touching fentanol you could overdose got started? In med industry we laugh about cops saying they get high or overdosed on it by touching it. ?

Pretty sure they're just saying that they probably are feeling some kind of symptoms but it's self inflicted and not actually drug related

i think we're saying the same thing, just that the line between lying and just not knowing what the fuck is going on is a lot thinner for a lot of us than we'd like to admit in medicine.

They’re saying placebo, you’re attributing it to malice.

Pretty much this. As far as it happening systemically? Hard to say, but if I may speculate we have fairly uniform reports of people feeling stuff at religious events. They are fully bought into the concept and feel they are in a spiritual or healing moment. Cops being that deep into their propaganda feels like it could be similar.
